I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no 1 about my ability to hold their attention and to 2 on them my admiration for the literature（文学）of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, "Stand up!" and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 3 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness（尴尬）was over, I quickly regained my calmness and began what I thought was a fact - packed lecture, sure to gain their respect - perhaps 4 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a (n) sense of achievements.

My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 5 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today. 6 her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a similar subject. "Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework（哲学体系）of Western thought and laid the historical 7 for all the works we'll study in class," I complained. "How can they say I didn't teach them anything?" It was a long term, and it 8 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher's job

was to raise 9 questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide 10 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

However, I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric farmer. I had never met him before although I had heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very accident. I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.

It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there， waiting for me. "She meant more to me than anyone ...even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying.

I thought something terrible had taken place， a possible scandal. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn（厩）. "I wouldn't leave here out in the cold!" he said.

Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. "She was such a good cow! I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!" he said, and burst into tears again.

Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist's failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.
